An oral rabies vaccine applied to vampire bats can curb infections in Central and South America. The vaccine is a gel that the bats can spread among themselves through mutual grooming, leading to an 88% vaccination rate in a colony within a week. Additionally, a lawsuit has been filed against US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over the removal of COVID-19 vaccines from recommended lists for children and pregnant individuals, claiming the decision is unscientific and harmful. The impact of stress on health, emphasized through personal experiences, remains a concern.
An oral vaccine could curb rabies infections among vampire bats in Central and South America. The vaccine is applied to the bats' fur in a thick gel.
